Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for up to 50% of all deaths in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Increased arterial stiffness has been shown to predict cardiovascular events beyond the current traditional risk factors. We sought to assess the relationship of aortic stiffness in patients with elevated global cardiovascular risk against those with COPD and lung hyperinflation. Methods
